SAFAVIEH Outdoor Collection Rocklin Natural/Beige 4-Piece Patio Conversation Set with Cushions - Perfect for Backyard, Garden, and Poolside Relaxation

The pieces came in one big, heavy box, within a week (Amazon Prime). Instructions are pretty straightforward but say something to the effect to not leave this outdoor furniture out in the outdoor and expose it to the elements - even though this is clearly advertised as “outdoor furniture“?!So we decided to varnish it, with applying thick coats of varnish three times. So worth it because the pieces now look all shiny and will hold up for this season, we hope. We intend to varnish them yearly. It took two people one hour to assemble everything - tools are included. The furniture seems to be quite sturdy, not cheap looking. The cushions are thin and the white fabric was already a bit dirty when we received it. Due to this I decided to sew covers for the cushions because white isn’t a good color to hide dirty spots.I was afraid the seats were really low to the ground but they seem to be at a really comfortable height as you can see on the attached photo. The person is 5’8” and his feet rest comfortably on the ground. The only complaint I have is that comfort sitting on these chairs could improve even more by adding a little pillow to each chair.In the end, at about $400+ I am quite happy with the purchase but had to put great effort into protecting the raw wood before exposing it to the elements, i.e. rain, UV etc. If left untreated, in my opinion, this wood would look good for maybe a season or two before it would look aged and rough.
